2/5 #COVID19 & #publichealth measures to #SlowtheSpread have brought significant challenges to Canadians. This Victoria Day #LongWeekend, many are venturing out to enjoy the warmer weather & amenities that are now opening up.
3/5 Careful reopening is thanks to the great progress Canadians have made to #PlanktheCurve. As we continue to descend the tricky path down the curve w\ #COVID19 still circulating in areas of 🇨🇦, keep on planking it with #goodhygiene. #OutSmartEpidemics

1/4 #COVID19 key concerns in 🇨🇦: With slowed epidemic growth & the Victoria Day long weekend upon us, getting outside is top of mind. At the same time, many Canadians are concerned about how we can go out safely. This is a reasonable concern.
2/4 As we continue down the curve, there are lessons to be learnt from other countries that are ahead of us on this path. Move too soon, relax too much & COVID-19 will come back. #COVID19 is still active in many areas of 🇨🇦, so we must remain vigilant.
3/4 The reality is that #COVID19 is still spreading in some areas and it will be with us for the foreseeable future. So as local authorities continue to slowly reopen recreational, social, & economic spaces, the right & safest way to go out is to go OUT SMART. #OutSmartEpidemics

1/4 #COVID19 key concerns in 🇨🇦: As we move into social & economic recovery, there will be challenges and bumps in the road but let’s not forget we are #ApartNotAlone and there is help. #MentalHealthWeek #COVIDCoping ca.portal.gs
2/4 It’s #MentalHealthWeek and we can all use some good news. Today I’m sharing the good news stat that over 26,000 or 43% of all confirmed #COVID19 cases in Canada are now recovered from their illness! I wish them all good health!
3/4 We must continue to make our way carefully down the curve, remembering that the many of the #PublicHealth measures that helped us #PlanktheCurve will continue to serve us well as we work to #CrushtheCurve.

1/43 So far I've supported @fordnation's response to the #COVID19 pandemic in #ONpoli, but this marks a turning point that recklessly plays with fire & a return to partisan agendas that will explode the death rate in rural Ontario

2/43 #THREAD Re #COVID19 in #ONpoli #CDNpoli cc @fordnation

Although I appreciate the political pressures on Premier Ford to re-open the economy, he's become insulated in a #TOpoli bubble that is utterly tone deaf & detrimental to Conservative strongholds in cottage country
3/43 #THREAD Re #COVID19 in #ONpoli #CDNpoli cc @fordnation

I'm speaking in these partisan terms in an effort to get through to Premier Ford, that his predetermined decision to send urban Ontario to cottage country for the May 2-4 holiday is so mistaken it will cost him votes

1/5 #COVID19 key concerns in 🇨🇦: As we #PlankTheCurve, we’re still seeing worrisome transmission events. In addition to vulnerabilities in long-term care homes, we’re tackling spread in certain work settings & congregate housing.
2/5 #Nunavut reported a 1st case of #COVID19 & cases are ↑ in First Nations communities in several provinces. We must #ProtectTheVulnerable & ramp up #TestandTrace to find where chains of transmission are occurring.
3/5 Having learned hard lessons & suffered the heartache of #COVID19 in long-term care homes, we now face introductions/spread in certain work & congregate housing settings. We must act fast to prevent further tragedy. #CrushtheCurve

1/11 Yesterday I presented an update on the progress that Canadians have made to #FlattenTheCurve of #COVID19. We also looked at some of the short-term predictions from our real-data forecasting models. canada.ca/content/dam/ph…
2/11 The #COVID19 forecast for 🇨🇦 is looking better, though we are not entirely out of the woods yet. We must remain mindful that our projections are only as reliable as our actions. #PlankTheCurve #PhysicalDistancing #WashYourHands
3/11 If we maintain measures that keep the #COVID19 growth rate down and prevent outbreaks and potential rebound of spread, we stand the best chance of remaining on this favourable trajectory. #KeepItUp #PlankTheCurve

1/8 #COVID19 key concerns in 🇨🇦: outbreaks in vulnerable settings and underserved populations continue to drive the #epidemiology of COVID-19, reminding us of the critical importance of addressing inequities. #ProtecttheVulnerable
2/8 Warmer weather & longer days can make us feel a bit antsy, as we sympathise with the kids in the back seat who wearily ask – Are we there yet? Though we’re not quite, we are on the right track & getting closer all the time. #COVID19 #KeepItUp
3/8 #COVID19 has exposed the fragility of circumstances for some populations – especially those living in long-term care homes or group housing + those experiencing homelessness or vulnerable indigenous communities. #ProtecttheVulnerable

1/9 #COVID19 key concerns in 🇨🇦: We still face considerable challenges, including the need to extinguish ongoing outbreaks + we need to continue ramp up of testing to find/manage persistent chains of transmission in communities. #TestandTrace #CrushtheCurve
2/9 Nevertheless, today is a great day to consider the progress we’ve made in better understanding #COVID19. There are still a lot of unknowns, but the pace & expanse of evidence-based discovery & #science #innovation is inspiring. #GoScience #SlowtheSpread #PlanktheCurve
3/9 From discovery & genetic sequencing of the virus in January, to building our understanding of #COVID19 disease characteristics & spread through tried & true applied #epidemiology & #publichealth investigation, we’ve ↑ knowledge. #PlanktheCurve

1/6 #COVID19 key concerns in 🇨🇦: As we continue to make progress to #SlowtheSpread of COVID-19, we are experiencing bumps in the road that remind us we can’t let down our guard. #PhysicalDistancing remains vitally important. #StayAtHome
2/6 We’ve got to act quickly to address weak points before the virus is introduced to other vulnerable settings. We can’t let the virus jump ahead of us again. #ProtecttheVulnerable #PlanktheCurve #CrushtheCurve
3/6 We learned a hard lesson when the virus was introduced to long term care settings. Cases quickly accelerated into large outbreaks with devastating consequences that are now a driving force behind the #epidemiology of #COVID19 in 🇨🇦. #ProtecttheVulnerable #OlderAdults

1/8 #COVID19 key concerns in 🇨🇦: Recovery & the question of what will be our new normal is on everybody’s mind right now. For now, we are still a ways off & as always, practicing #physicaldistancing is vitally important. #ProtecttheVulnerable
2/8 #Publichealth authorities are closely monitoring for continued and stable slowing of the #COVID19 epidemic in 🇨🇦, while carefully considering approaches to ease public health restrictions when & where this may be possible.
3/8 We cannot lose sight that this is a marathon and we are going to have to plan, pace ourselves and not take any sharp turns. Also, many unknowns remain and there is no 100% proven path to a new normal. #COVID19

1/10 People, thoughts and feelings are important right now, because each of us, alone & collectively, are what will determine when and how we emerge from this crisis. To end #COVID19 all Canadians are on the frontline. #TogetherApart #DoYourPart
2/10 Nothing less than the continued sacrifice of every Canadian, staying at home as much as possible and practicing #physicaldistancing, is what it will take to stop the spread of this virus. Its not over till its over. #COVID19 #PlankTheCurve
3/10 #StayHome is urgently needed to save lives, #ProtecttheVulnerable as well as to buy more time for research & development of diagnostics, vaccines, & treatments to protect 🇨🇦s health system & the health of all Canadians. #COVID19 #Innovation

1/3 As 🇨🇦 continues progress on #SlowtheSpread of #COVID19, keep in mind that Canadians remain highly susceptible. Characteristics & intensity of spread differ depending on where you are but we all need to #StayatHome to #PlanktheCurve. bit.ly/2yq91gR Image
2/3 This is a critical juncture when intense #publichealth efforts MUST continue to stamp out existing outbreaks, prevent new outbreaks and #testandtrace to find & manage remaining chains of transmission in the community. #COVID19 #PlanktheCurve
3/3 We must remain vigilant, stay focused, and keep our eye on the ultimate goal - to #StayHomeSaveLives and stop the spread of #COVID19. #CrushtheCurve to protect our families, friends, and fellow Canadians. #TeamCanada #ProtecttheVulnerable

1/8 #COVID19 key concerns in 🇨🇦: current data (~ 2 weeks behind present), show that our collective efforts over the past several weeks have been able to slow down the epidemic. The weeks ahead will tell if we’ve kept up our efforts.
2/8 🇨🇦’s report card on #StaycationfortheNation is yet to come in - while we’re all hoping that we’ve maintained #SlowtheSpread of #COVID19, we must double down on efforts to stamp out outbreaks in high risk settings. #StayHomeSaveLives
3/8 Deaths have disproportionately impacted our #OlderAdults, with over 90% of reported deaths occurring among those aged > 60 years and almost 50% of deaths linked to long term care home outbreaks. #COVID19

1/4 #COVID19 key concerns in 🇨🇦: Despite early signs that the epidemic is slowing, nationally, we are just beginning the marathon. W\ COVID-19’s prolonged clinical course, hospitalisations, critical cases & deaths are continuing. #ProtectTheVulnerable e Image
2/4 Of the now >950 #COVID19 deaths in 🇨🇦, a high proportion continue to be linked to long term care outbreaks. We must do all we can to support and #ProtecttheVulnerable. canada.ca/en/public-heal…
3/4 There will be bumps in the road. #COVID19 epidemic activity is not the same everywhere across the country. But right now our efforts must be unified and unrelenting. Best efforts for a best-case scenario #TeamCanada #PlanktheCurve #CrushTheCurve

1/10 As Canadians continue #PhysicalDistancing, we are closely monitoring for signs that our efforts are having an impact to #SlowtheSpread of #COVID19. #StayAtHome #PlankTheCurve
2/10 It’s taken just over 3 months for the first cluster of #COVID19 cases to spread and establish the pandemic. It is hard to take in how our lives have changed in such fundamental ways over this short period. #COVID19

3/10 At this point, we still don’t have all the answers, but there is some cause for cautious optimism coming from our epidemiological data. #COVID19 #COVIDCoping #WeWillGetThroughThis #cavabienaller

1/6 #COVID19 key concerns in 🇨🇦: many deaths are linked to outbreaks in long term care facilities in several provinces. Though new data continue to come in, as of now, at least 285 (40%) of 717 reported deaths are linked to these outbreaks. #ProtecttheVulnerable Image
2/6 Sadly, because #COVID19 can have a prolonged clinical course, we expect deaths will continue to increase even as the epidemic growth rate slows down. #StayHomeSaveLives #ProtectTheVulnerable
3/6 To save lives, families, communities & businesses across Canada have shifted their behaviours to #SlowtheSpread and help break the chains of transmission of #COVID19. #PlanktheCurve

1/4 #GOC modelling numbers help us to visualise how the epidemic might unfold over the coming months, so we can plan accordingly. Predicted outcomes (best-case vs. worst-case scenarios) of these models are dependant on our actions. #COVID19 #StayHome bit.ly/2wpzsCu
2/4 The numbers are hard to bear but knowing what the options are, I know we are all convinced that crushing this epidemic curve is the right way out of a bad trajectory. #FlattentheCurve ➡️ #PlanktheCurve #CrushtheCurve bit.ly/3ecOEUw
3/4 This is because our actions (#publichealth measures, #StayHome, #PhysicalDistancing) are key parameters or assumptions used in the model to predict future outcomes, like the rate of growth/direction of the #COVID19 epidemic trajectory. #PlanktheCurve

1/6 In the midst of #COVID19 hardship, Canadians are showing there is a lot to be thankful for. Being behind other country trajectories in the pandemic, gave 🇨🇦 the chance to implement measures & #SlowtheSpread earlier. #PlanktheCurve
2/6 Time may seem like it’s been standing still but we’ve achieved a great deal #TogetherApart these past weeks. We’ve held our own through progression of the #COVID19 epidemic, helped Canadians get home & our health system cope. #PlanktheCurve

1/6 #COVID19 key concerns in 🇨🇦: Today #GOC released modelling #s that attempt to show how the epidemic might unfold over the coming months, based on our knowledge of how the virus behaves & the potential impact of #publichealth measures. Image
2/6 Models are not crystal balls & we can’t predict the future with them, however, they do help us to plan and they tell us that our collective actions can have a direct and significant impact on the epidemic trajectory. #COVID19 #TogetherApart
3/6 While the numbers may seem stark, 🇨🇦’s modelling demonstrates that we still have an opportunity to control the epidemic & save lives. We cannot prevent every death, but we must prevent all the deaths we can. #COVID19 #TogetherApart bit.ly/2wpzsCu
